Instructions

1- Prep the Wings:

Start by cleaning and cutting the chicken wings.
Make sure they're pat dry.

2- Season the Wings:

Place the wings in a large pot.
Drizzle with olive oil, then add the Creole seasoning, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, red crushed pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
Mix thoroughly, ensuring each wing is nicely coated.

3- Preheat the Oven:

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).

4- Bake the Wings:

Arrange the seasoned wings on a baking sheet lined with foil.
Cover with another sheet of foil to retain moisture and bake until cooked through and tender.

5- Prepare the Sauce:

In a separate pan, pour the honey BBQ wing sauce.
Add hot sauce to your desired spice level, a tablespoon of butter, and dark brown sugar.
Warm over medium heat until the butter and sugar melt, mixing consistently for a glossy sauce.

6- Combine and Cook:

Remove the wings from the oven and gently toss them in the prepared sauce, ensuring they're well coated.
Allow the wings to simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes over low heat to absorb the flavors.

7- Serve:

Plate the wings, garnishing with Italian seasoning.
Serve with rice and steamed broccoli for a complete meal.
